Versatile walk-on receiver with special-teams value and clear developmental upside
Drake Owen is a **developmental, high-effort wideout** for Washington State whose value comes from versatility and reliability more than big-volume stats: he walked on in 2021, has contributed on offense and punt returns, and was described as making major offseason gains in acceleration and strength. In the 2024 season, he was injured early, missed time, and had limited production, so the key question is health and consistency rather than raw ceiling. He looks like a good fit for a team that wants a tough, adaptable receiver who can help in multiple roles.
